Help me get started please!!!

Hello mate welcome to the site!

Fury sounds and looks like a laugh. Bottom line, if itws RWD it can be drifted :thumbs: , like has been said, will probably need patience, but no reason why practice can't make perfect.

I also live in Crawley, and have a few select 'private' roads and roundabouts. However, the MR2 is a little sick at the moment, but I'd be happy to show you the ropes and find what your car is capable of.
 
Thanks everybody

Thanks everybody for all the advice!

Spoke to Nev and hopefully taking it to the next Arena Essex day. As this is my only car i have to be careful as i take it to France twice a year to give it its head up in the deserted ski resorts, (highly reccoment it, and its quite cheap!) so driving it to the Swiss border with a full "drift" setup could be a bit much! A quaife diff would be better suited for the other stuff i do but a Sailsbury it will be, money permitting in a few months.
Would appreciate a few tips from the pros at the venue, then maybe a meet up one evening on some "private" roundabouts! All of you local guys the Fury club meet at the Plough Pub in Bletchingley, Surrey, (near Godstone M25 junct on the first friday of each month), but there are more sportscars than Fury's now, and any mental machinery is appreciated. Normally spend most of the night giving rides up the bypass! Not boyracers, just grownups who are into "real" cars
 
Welcome,

Martin Bells fireblade fury was the fastest RWD car on the handling circuit at Ten of the Best1 if memory serves. Very speedy!!

Hope you get the most from it.

James.
 
That sound like fun,

A few suggestions having driven several 7esque cars on drift days


Soften the suspension, especially the front, you'll need turn in as the corners will be tighter than race stuff. As the cars are so light it makes them twitchy, softening up helps this & makes them more progressive.

Have you got a tiny steering wheel, if so it'll be pants theres lots of leverage at silly angles on a small steering wheel (7's anyway)

Double check for fuel leaks at the tank end, seen several 7's with systems that can't cope with petrol sloshing about.

Apart from that it should be a challenge but a damn good laugh
 
Totb 1

Martin Bell is a mate of mine, forgot he did TOTB 1. If memory serves me correct the only car to beat him on the handling circuit was Rocket Ronnies 700 bhp skyline, and to be fair to Martins car is wasnt the most highly specced Fury Fireblade in existance..... Imagine he got his but whipped on the top speed run though! There is a problem with the gearing on these cars as you cannot easily get a long enough diff to make use of the bike engine. The longest is a 3.54 which gives a 131mph top speed, it gets there quite quickly then just bounces off the rev limiter, but with an RS 2000 axle that is it. That is my M26 party trick!!! With a better ratio and a long runway i'd imagine 150mph would be possible. Most circuits except Silverestone and Snetterton are not that fast so its not a problem. Dont plan on learning to drift that fast either......but if anybody can....... :worthy:

A mate of mine, Ruari, has a Fury with a Sierra Cosworth 330 bhp engine, its 600bhp per ton, with driver aboard, that is one shit scary car and i will not even have a passenger ride in it! It spins its wheels at 100 mph in the dry,top 160 mph! t really is a weapon and a half.
NOW THAT PUPPY WOULD DRIFT!!!!!!!! :eek:
